Newcastle Close On Moses Signing

The news is encouraging this morning that Newcastle United are in with a decent chance of singing Victor Moses from Crystal Palace for around £2M.

Moses – impressed with Newcastle crowd Wednesday

The Magpies were offered some encouragement by Moses’ agent Tony Finnegan last night.

Tony said that Moses had been “impressed” by the set up at St James’ Park, but of course agents always tell prospective teams good things – to keep them interested.

Finnegan told the Newcastle Journal last night:

“He went there on Wednesday and was impressed by the stadium and the fact there were 40,000 odd for a midweek game.”

“Obviously that made an impression on Victor,” “We’re all just waiting for the administrators’ next move now.”

Hughton was full of praise for 19 year-old Moses at yesterday’s press conference, and the lad seems to have moved ahead of James Vaughan as the club’s priority striking target.

That’s fine with us, because James was only coming on loan in any case.

Chris Hughton said:

“It’s been documented that we are very interested in signing the lad,” “It’s (Moses) one we have a very, very keen interest in.”

“He is a player who has an ability to score goals. There is power and pace, but it is his potential.”

“Around what we are trying to do here this season, which is the most important thing, there also has to be an eye on the future – and he is certainly a player of wonderful potential.”

Capturing Moses would delight the Newcastle faithful, and that may be an understatement, because it would be a statement of intent that Newcastle United may indeed be on the way back to becoming a strong side again.

In fact it would be the best singing we’ve made for some time.

It would also round off a very successful transfer window for Newcastle, who travel to Leicester City for a televised clash this afternoon, which will be seen around the world.

Signing Moses would be terrific and the icing on the cake for an excellent January transfer window for Newcastle United.

Not being funny mate but how do you know he is going to Westham and apart from that i have read that he is holding off going to an EPL club as he will not get in the first 11 where as with the likes of us, Forest and W.B.A he is more than likely going to get into the starting 11. Westham are struggling themselves financially and on the pitch. We may be playing EPL football next season and there is a good chance WH could go down. It would be like p122ing in the wind so to speak lol.

Craig either/or , keep your info coming your the 1st I have ever beleived with info on here! I got the info you got last week but a few hours later, but I won’t see the lad who told me until next week at graft so keep it coming mate.

Moses can play left wing or as a second striker, best as a second striker.

I have got my money on mate, it was 16/1 when the market first opened. And to how i know, my mate is friends with one of the newcastle physios, i didnt say he definately was going there, just they are holding talks after permission was given, which means talks are more advanced with west ham, newcastle havent even talked to the player, just his representatives, he wont move up north.

I hope i lose aswell, would rather sign the lad and lose my £10!! Its a two way battle west ham and wigan, he would get a game at wigan, dont think he would at west ham. He is reluctant to move away from his foster parents, so london would suit him.

Out of the list of great young players, carroll isnt good enough, and never will be a premier player, ranger has the potential, kadar definately will be a premier player, simpson is a good back up player at best, we have vuckic, baheng, shane ferguson, and inman, they are the future.

Newcastle have offered to double moses’s wages, not sure what he is on at palace like.

And gcfalco, just cos you aint heard of them dont mean they aint good, the chelsea left back is a top class talent, seen him when he was on loan at coventry, he has great pace, good positioning, and a good shot on him, only thing is he is jumps into tackles to easy, hence 5 yellows in 19 games at coventry

yeah newcastle dont really need him for longer yet, and did you notice hughton said and we can have a good look at the lad in the 4 weeks, maybe they will try and sign him permenantly. I still think we might get an AM aswell, skjbred on loan maybe. Isnt the newcastle number 9 shirt still available, might offer that to moses.

Black N White BArMy – We have barton – though it’s easy to forget that with the amount of football he misses,

Geordielad880 – you sound like a bit of an authority.. very sure of your opinions like, fair dos.

I’m not sure I share your Carroll view – he probably won’t end up being shearer maybe – but there is room in the any squad for a decent target man who leads the line – carlton cole, heskey, carew, beattie, etc. I see no reason why he couldn;t be mentioned in the same breath,

I now DETEST this ‘premiership class’ obsession on this board..

NEWSFLASH the so-called gulf between the leagues is narrowing all the time, hence the fa cup results recently,, liverpool outplayed reading, man Utd by LEEDS FFS!! Also there is less of a yo-yo thing with clubs like stoke, birmingham , fulham, establishing themselves reasonably easily in the top leagues…

It is damn lazy to say ‘ how yees shola or colocinni – or whoever – isn’t premier class” it’s the talk of people who doen’t think things through just spout cliches…

We too, also think that Victor will sign for a Premier League club rather than sign for Newcastle. We also think that James Vaughan may well end up signing for Newcaste instead of Victor Moses. However, should one or the other sign for Tynesides famous football club, we will not be too disappointed.

I do agree that with the games against WBA recently – we were totally outclassed in one department – how much ground they covered, hence the DESPERATE need for a true box to box midfielder – jenas, dyer,, etc. etc. who have never been replaced,,

Moses is a bit of a Rooney case when we went in for him- we didn’t need him with shearer, bellamy, shola, lua lua AND kluivert on the books (man how things change) – but you have to bust a gut to get those types.. he’s that good.

We will find out where he is at by the end of today, thats the deadline thats been set by the administrators. Collocini is a good player, just needed time to adapt to english football, same as enrique, jonas adapted really quickly, it will have done wonders playing championship football, and assuming we get promoted, it might have been a blessing getting relegated, if you get me.

Geordielad880 – im pretty sure yesterday u said hes off to west ham because your mates with a newcastle physio and he knows…yeh becuse im sure the physios at the club are kept up to date with tranfer info.

Anyway obviusly the agent realises that the Madrid deal aint gona happen so is beginning to suck up to any club offering a deal.

Well we will see where he ends up, and i would think they would know alot more than us, im just passing on what i have been told, but in the end, the administrators job is to get the maximum amount of money they can, teams will enter at the last minute.

The Moses saga is taking some time giving the amount of time we have left. I don’t think he will sign for us unfortunately as i believe he will end up at one of the inferior PL clubs which won’t be benificial to him at all. I read that he is resisting the temptation of joining a PL league club as he feels he will be a bench warmer so to speak lol but if the lad has any sense he will choose NUFC as we can offer him more than the other clubs interesed even the PL clubs. We have a good chance of promotion and he can play in a world class stadium and recieve support from the best fans in the world. Why play in front of a half empty craven cottage or a club in massive crises in Westham. Everton may sneak in for him and i have no arguements there.

I would love him to come to newcastle, but i think the best club for his development would be west brom, they play good football, steady team finacially and managerially aswell, newcastle have never been the most settled teams

Yes Harewood did get some stick fortunately i was not one of them. He put the ball in the net that is the main thing for a striker. We cannot expect Moses to come here and change everything that would be to much pressure for a young lad. He will need the correct guidence and support to bring him up to the level he has the potential to fulfill.

Toon1978 – all very true but that is in now something that newcastle have ever provided – with the exception of two middle seasons under SBR,,

Having said that – Hughton seems to be building a happy squad – quite a rarity for us – I would love nothing more than a young hungry talented group of players to build on – a la SBR era or the current o’neil villa squad.

GeordieLAd880 – West brom may play some smart football now but that club is the Aldi of the football world always will be.. we used to represent vegas or bust to potential signings but hopefully hughton will be given time to change this over the next 2 seasons…

Thing is I can’t see why it’s not worth Ashley busting his wallet to get him in… promotion or otherwise – he stands to recoup a hefty retun upon future re-sale… such is this weird Palace situation.

That thought also crossed my mind. Ashley will make a profit on Moses come 5-6 years time. We should be pushing the boat out to sign him and get it wrapped up asap. Its not that i would like us to be selling our best players in 5 years time but its still something to think about. Even if we sign him and things do not work out he could still be sold on for double what NUFC paid for him.

5-6 years – who knows? But my point is worst case we languish in this league for next 2 seasons – he could be sold within that time for double as you say.

Just got a freaky thought that he was pulled out of game on wednesday – not through fear of injury – but because negotioations were already in place- probably not though based on administrator’s quotes.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
